There is strong rumour that The Why Not will re-open under new management in early November 2013, maybe the 1st or 2nd. Post comment note: It indeed re-open at 5pm on Friday 1st November 2013 under the management of Gary and Jane.

Word on the street from trusted sources is that The Why Not has ceased trading and is closed and its website supports this. Check before venturing to visit.
